About The Role

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Consultant 

Glasgow with travel across the Central Belt

35 hours per week

We believe that every person in Scotland has the right to work in a job that is high quality and well paid.

Enable Works supports over 7,000 people every year across 29 Scottish Local Authorities to learn skills for work.

We meet clients in a variety of settings including in schools and universities and out in the community.

We partner with thousands of employers to create inclusive cultures and improve the diversity of Scotland's workforce.

Together we will challenge perceptions of disability and unleash potential.

Your role as a DEI Consultant is to support our employer partners introduce inclusive practise and understand how to recruit and support a diverse workforce.

What will you do?

Delivering a pioneering DEI programme, you will provide support to young disabled people in employment and help their employers to develop skills in supporting disabled colleagues, by delivering effective DEI interventions.

Values are more important to us than qualifications or experience, so if you don’t think you meet every requirement that’s ok, we still want to hear from you.

At Enable Works we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you are excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be the right candidate for this role, or other roles.
